In June 12, 2014, Aksana, The Brian Kendrick, Brodus Clay, Camacho, Curt Hawkins, Drew McIntyre, Evan Bourne, Jinder Mahal, JTG, Kaitlyn, Mason Ryan & Yoshi Tatsu were release from WWE, therefore keeping Heath Slater, Hunico & Zack Ryder from being in WWE 2K15 as well. So far, only Brian Kendrick, Curt Hawkins, Drew McIntyre & Jinder Mahal have returned to WWE (Aksana is retired, Brodus Clay is in TNA, & occasionally appears on FOX NEWS, Camacho is in NJPW, Evan Bourne is also in TNA, it is unknown what JTG or Mason Ryan are up to, Kaityn can occasionally be seen on UpUpDownDown, & Yoshi Tatsu is also in NJPW.)

Kassius Ohno was originally going to be in WWE 2K15, but was cut for unknown reasons.

Mike & Maria Kanellis will not be playable this year, because according to "raps in ate", "facial scans ended a while back", so new superstars such as Mike Kanellis & Maria Kanellis cannot be scanned.
